4. Trubisky still has excuses for his 2019 performance
Last season didn’t go as planned for Trubisky or the entire Bears offense. The QB regressed from his promising 2018 campaign and suffered yet another injury in the process, missing nearly two full games due to a separated shoulder. Now healthy, Trubisky looked back on last year and thought his injury played a major role in his lack of success.

In addition to the injury, Trubisky spent tons of time watching film and going through every single throw, indicating he has learned from his mistakes and claim they are fixable. The veteran also admitted he has been more detailed with reading coverages after seeing new defensive schemes.
Those excuses are valid, and it’s not meant to be a dig at the young quarterback. Trubisky is clearly still learning and that can be viewed as a positive. Perhaps it’s another indicator that a breakthrough is coming. But enough talk, let’s see it come together on the field.
